I am only 6 weeks post op but really missing my morning Starbucks. I have been allowing myself 1 cup of coffee first thing in the morning and that is doing well.

I know when Starbucks says their drinks are 'skinny' there is still probably a lot of sugar in them.

Has anyone found a drink or version of a drink that is o.k for us RNy's to have that won't cause us to have 'dumping'?

I think you can request sugar-free and Fat-Free versions of a lot of drinks. A latte with sugar free chocolate Syrup and skim milk does sound pretty amazing right now.

Decaf, non-fat caffe misto with sugar free vanilla Syrup. Only 60 calories, 0 grams of fat, 8 grams of carbs, 6 grams of Protein, and 8 grams of sugar for the tall size. If you've ever been to New Orleans and had Cafe au lait at Cafe Dumonde, the taste is almost the same, except for the vanilla.

The good thing about Starbucks is that everything is customizable. Download their app. You can play around with recipes and customize everything to your nutritional needs. Then it tells you how to order it to get it how you want. It's awesome. I love Starbucks.

I was on the powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury website last night looking at their recipes. Saw one for a pumpkin Spice Latte. I dearly love those things every fall. Can;t wait till I get to a point where I can try that. A bonus is that I will be getting Protein.

Thanks so much everyone.. The cafe Mistro sounds fabulous. I also like the idea of using their web to build drinks.. Will try that for sure.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
